Hey, can anyone make a recommendation for materials for learning Shona? All I can find is an app for kids, an online program with no audio, or a really dated program that is hard to follow written in 1965. And it's designed to be used with a tutor, which I can't afford.

If, and ONLY IF, you have space for 5 small ink cartridges (total weight is less than 200grams), are you willing to bring them to Zimbabwe for me? The cartridges are for a Canon printer, the cartridges cost more than the printer itself in this part of the world...

Hello friends. I'm an American and I'll be visiting Zimbabwe on a trip to help install some water purification systems in a few weeks and I understand it is customary to bring your host a gift. My host is a religious guy who is married with three tween daughters. I know he plays guitar and values tools for working on cars. I'm having trouble nailing this down and would love some help. I was thinking of maybe having my daughter pick out some necklaces or journals or something for his girls. Also, what about American candies? Is that something they would like?
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

Hello, I'm a big fan of early acoustic guitar music from Zimbabwe, especially omasiganda and styles influenced by American country western and ragtime, and tsaba-tsaba and marabi. I'm searching for anyone with information on George Sibanda, Josaya Hadebe, Sabelo Mathe, Michael Majozi, Clarkson Sithole, Matthew Jeffries, and any others from the 1940s to early 1960s. Here is a great old time song by Josaya Hadebe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91jt83I2f4s
I have heard there is a paper on Josaya Hadebe published by the University of Zimbabwe, unfortunately I have not been able to get them to return my inquiry.

I am also seeking for someone that can translate some song lyrics from Shona to English. If anyone can help with any of these topics, or would just like to discuss this music, it would be greatly appreciated!
